Someone impersonating a CPWA employee gained access to the woman's home at Route 146 Tuesday afternoon, water authority Chairman Helmut Gerstenberger said. The man stole jewelry from the home after he "scammed his way into the house," a trooper in Clifton Park said.

The man remains unidentified and at-large, authorities said. Police were trying to find fingerprints in the home. The woman is not a CPWA customer, Gerstenberger said.

"The Clifton Park Water Authority wants all customers and non-customers alike to know that all employees drive marked vehicles and wear uniforms that identify the CPWA and bear the authority's logo," a statement from the water authority said.
